Privacy Policy

01. Information We Collect

• Account information such as your name, email address, and country when you register or subscribe.
• Profile and accreditation details you provide to access private opportunities.
• Payment information, processed securely by our third-party payment provider — we do not store full card numbers.
• Usage data such as pages viewed, events attended, and interactions with Hubs and Hosts.

02. How We Use Your Information

• To provide, maintain, and improve the Services and your membership experience.
• To verify eligibility and accreditation for private opportunities.
• To connect you with relevant Hubs, Hosts, events, and diaspora communities.
• To process payments and manage your subscription.
• To send service updates, security notices, and — where permitted — marketing communications you can opt out of.

03. How We Share Information

We do not sell your personal information. We share data only with service providers who help us operate the platform (such as payment and hosting providers), with licensed partners facilitating a specific opportunity you choose to pursue, and as required by law.

04. Data Security

We use industry-standard technical and organizational measures to protect your information, including encryption in transit and access controls. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

05. Your Rights

• Access, correct, or delete the personal information we hold about you.
• Object to or restrict certain processing of your data.
• Withdraw consent for marketing communications at any time.
• Request a portable copy of the data you have provided.

06. Cookies & Tracking

We use cookies and similar technologies to keep you signed in, remember preferences, and understand how the Services are used. You can control cookies through your browser settings, though disabling them may affect functionality.

07. International Transfers

As we operate across multiple countries, your information may be processed in jurisdictions other than your own. Where required, we put appropriate safeguards in place to protect your data during such transfers.
